Having been a member of this site for seven years, I've had plenty of memorable experiences with Bungie through both Halo and on these forums. Occasionally I'll see something that just triggers a flood of nostalgia, and I love it. So, my question is: throughout your time with Bungie, what has been your favorite nostalgia inducing memory?
Mine's hard to pick. It might be creating the group Mythic Photographers on here back in like 2009. Groups seem to be kinda dead, but going through messages with the old moderators and admins brings back good times. Other than that, I'd say anticipating the release of ODST. I was in 7th grade when that released, so I was a wide-eyed kid awing over the mix-up from classic Halo gameplay at the time. I never really appreciated the game that much after it dropped, but looking back now, I think it was great. That was triggered by me seeing someone with a superintendent avatar on here.

Edited by Railgun: 9/28/2015 6:07:10 AMMy biggest obsession back in the day was trying to get Recon by getting on Bungie's clip of the week or something. I always ended up doing something only after someone got recon for it. Like killing myself with a pylon on The Pit, or ricochet sniping myself off an icicle on Snowbound. I also did enjoy taking screenshots back then like the neon room on snowbound. I was heavily into signatures made on blackout and joined a few groups. I eventually got good at Halo to the point where someone way more artistic than me actually volunteered to make one for me. That's just some of it, there's a lot more I could think of, but I'm pretty tired rn.

I remember bingeing nonstop on things like the ViDocs and Machinima top 10 clips of the week/Fails of the Weak whenever I wasn't able to play online. Gotta hand it to Bungie, they sure know how to get people excited for their games.

Wasn't Mythic Photographers featured here on Bungie.net a few times? I kind of enjoyed taking Screenshots myself back in the day, and I think I remember seeing that name around a few times. For me, it'd definitely be going back and checking out all the old B.net Minecraft and Terraria groups and servers I played on. Or any time anybody talks about Easter Eggs or skulls from the Halo games... I was a Mod in the old Reach Secrets groups, lots of good times there. Bungie.net is so different than it was a few years ago, though, and since groups aren't as big as they were, I don't seem to be getting too much nostalgia shots these days...
